What is a home buyer report?
If the home you are planning to purchase does not have a damp and timber guarantee, this leaves you open to financial risk. The problem with damp and timber damage is that it isn’t always obvious or visible. Once it progresses to the point of being obvious or visible, the repairs will be much more expensive. To save yourself the hassle of purchasing a property with hidden damp damage, arrange a survey with our team.
A Level 2 Home Buyer Survey is recommended for modern properties in relatively good condition. It assumes there will be minimal damage to the property, so the surveyor doesn’t look for this hidden damage. We believe in going above and beyond to uncover any potential issues, as this is the only way to be able to make a financial decision with confidence. For a single premium payment, you can also enjoy Guarantee Protection Insurance for added peace of mind.
Importance of the home buyer report in Kingston upon Thames
Homes in the Kingston upon Thames region are at increased risk of damp and related timber damage due to the weather and climate. These issues could include rising damp, penetrating damp or condensation. Damp can also lead to timber damage, including dry rot, wet rot and woodworm. With our help, you can uncover any potential problems and take action before any sales are finalised.
Our surveyors will go above and beyond to uncover potential issues in your chosen property. This could mean looking under carpets or lifting floorboards in search of signs of damp. This information could help you to walk away from a bad financial decision, or to negotiate the price to account for the damp repairs required. From this position of insight, you can make an informed decision.


What’s included with a home buyer report?
Our home buyer report is a specialised report that focuses on the presence of damp and timber damage. You would likely commission this report alongside a more general report to get a complete picture of the condition of the property. Our Property Care Association (PCA) qualified surveyors will inspect the property and look for signs of past and present damp issues.
This information can help you to negotiate a better price on the property, or to request that repair work is carried out before the sale is completed. In some cases, it can help buyers to walk away from a potentially problematic investment. If you want to purchase property in Kingston upon Thames with confidence, trust Tapco Homedry to support your goals.
